Recipe Introduction

This delish dish was made by Tom Cruise on Oprah. It is by far and away the most yummy, simple and elegant dish I have ever made! We make this for family get togethers and even as a side dish at Christmas! You will not go wrong with this entree!! We serve with garlic bread and a simple green salad. Even the kids ask for this for their birthday dinner! However, this entree is not for the calorie/fat conscience!! But this is sure worth the indulgence!
